Interact Intranet, a leading provider of intranet software, today announced their latest social feature rich release, Interact Intranet 7.3.

Having an intranet with enterprise social networking tools can bring a number of business benefits, such as improved employee engagement, faster decision making,more effective problem solving, reduced reliance on email and greater overall productivity.

Nigel Danson, CEO & Founder of Interact Intranet says:

“It is great to see companies starting to fully embrace and realise the advantages of deploying social features successfully on their intranets. At Interact we believe social tools can bring massive competitive advantages when aligned to how people work; however on their own they’re not enough.

Interact Intranet 7.3 has been development based on what our customers said would further enhance collaboration between employees; helping to reduce group emails and enabling more effective conversations within their digital workspace, to get work done more effectively”

The new features and enhancements within Interact Intranet 7.3 make any company’s introduction or advancement into social even easier; ensuring collaboration is integrated with the way employees work.
